"Punky Finds a Home, part 1" is the first episode in the the first season of Punky Brewster. It aired on September 16, 1984.
In Chicago, 8-year-old Penelope "Punky" Brewster (Soleil Moon Frye) and her dog Brandon are found living in an empty apartment by the apartment building's grouchy manager, 60-year-old Henry Warnimont (George Gaynes), who owns a photography studio. Henry invites Punky to his apartment for dinner. In Henry's apartment, Punky tells Henry that it all started when her father walked out on her and her mother Susan Brewster, and then a couple of weeks ago, Susan said they were going on a trip. Susan, Punky and Brandon piled up in their car and drove to a shopping center in Chicago, where Susan abandoned Punky and Brandon.
Punky and Brandon have been homeless ever since. In the vacant apartment, Punky always had food that she could share with Brandon, because 8-year-old Cherie Johnson (Cherie Johnson), who lives upstairs from Henry with her grandmother Betty Johnson (Susie Garrett), always brought food to Punky. When Henry's search for Punky's mother is interrupted by a visit to his studio from Punky, Cherie, and Cherie's grandmother Betty, Henry takes some memorable pictures of Punky, Cherie, Betty, Brandon and himself at his photography studio, and Henry has his hands full with a customer named Agnes (Elizabeth Kerr), who has fallen for him.
